I consider myself supremely lucky to have stayed close with some of the friends I made a VERY long time ago. These girls have known me my entire life. They KNOW know me. I have realized how rare this is to have friendships like this, and I truly treasure it. We all have children of our own now, and one of my favorite things in the world is watching our kids play together. It’s so crazy to see how far we’ve come.
With the exception of one of “the girls”, they ALL have BOYS. Between us, we have 11 kids. And 8 of them are boys. My daughter loves whenever we get to hang out with any of them, she’s such a little tomboy. She’s going to have her pick of boyfriends down the road (when she’s like 30 ;))!
I was home again a few weekends ago, and loved seeing everyone again. I met up with this family again to do some photos for them, including some of their new baby brother! See? ANOTHER BOY! Below are just a few favorites from the morning.
Photographers: this is how I engage 3 year olds. 🙂 I let them “get me” with leaves. Sure, I may be picking pine needles and grass out of my shirt (even down my BACK) for days, but I get cute shots like these too.
Far from a “perfect” family photo, but one of my favorites nonetheless. This is real. 🙂 These two are some of the best and most patient parents I know. Look at those smiles, with 3 little protesters in their arms!
Little 8 week old C fell asleep shortly after we came inside from playing, so I HAD to get a few of him in his crib. How precious is he??
OD fam, as always, it is wonderful to see you. We love you guys!
great family photos! a lot of energy these boys have eh?!! i adore the crib shots too.
Adorable!
Super sweet! I love the no-so-traditional family shot. Something to cherish when they grow up. 🙂
Love the moments of pure craziness! The parents will look back on these with smiles mixed with a little relief and maybe a little nostalgia for those crazy times with young ones.
What an adorable family. I love all of these!! I love the little ones are wiggly and dad still has a smile.
What a sweetheart in his crib. Nice job Meg!
Ok, I’m bawling again. These pics blow me away. I know I said it before….I have pics of C and M when they were 5 / 6 and now I’m seeing their kids. God bless these beautiful families.
Fantastic session!! You did a wonderful job capturing this fun family 🙂
Beautiful family! I love the sleeping crib shot too, he wore himself out at the family shoot! Nice work, Megan!
cuteness!! looks like you captured each of their personalities perfectly!! 🙂
haha looks like you just might have done some running on this session. Gotta love energetic youngsters. They look so handsome with their underjackets (hope thats the right word, english not my first language)
